Frigate

Summary:

Frigate is an open-source Network Video Recorder (NVR) built around real-time AI object detection, designed to process camera feeds locally on your own hardware. This means that your camera footage never leaves your home, ensuring maximum security and privacy. Frigate uses the Google Coral TPU for advanced analysis, allowing even modest hardware to run complex object detection tasks.

Main Features:

• Local Object Detection: Frigate offloads object detection to the Google Coral TPU, reducing false positives and enabling advanced analysis on modest hardware.
• Real-time Processing: Frigate can track objects in real-time, scrubbing your video feeds for you, and providing precise location-based notifications.
• Zone-Based Alerts: Refine your notifications based on specific locations, such as a person walking up your front steps or a car entering your driveway.
• Integration with Home Assistant: Frigate is compatible with popular home automation platforms like Home Assistant.

By leveraging the power of local processing and AI object detection, Frigate offers a unique solution for monitoring security cameras while maintaining complete control over your data.
